“I Cross My Heart” is one of the most romantic songs ever inspired by God.
|George Strait holds the record for the most number one hits of any artist in history. If you haven’t heard his 1992 hit “I Cross My Heart,” you’re in for a treat.
As a country legend, George Strait boasts an impressive 60 number one hits, solidifying his place as one of the greatest artists of all time.
“I Cross My Heart” is among these hits, originally released in 1992 as part of his album “Pure Country.” Interestingly, the song was written nearly a decade earlier.
Throughout that decade, multiple artists, from Boyz II Men to Bette Midler, attempted to record the song, yet it faced repeated setbacks and challenges.
Songwriters Steve Dorff and Eric Kaz were running out of options. Then George Strait stepped in and decided to take on the song.
What was dismissed as trash for one genre became a country treasure. Who better than the ‘King of Country’ to turn it into one of his many #1 hits?
